Theo told me about his girlfriend, Regina. He's been dating her for two years. Still marriage is a big issue for him. He can't make up his mind.

When I heard his story, I thought he did the right thing. There are many people who rush into the marriage and later on they suffer which leads to a unhappy marriage or divorce ever worse sometimes.

I grew up seeing all this so, marriage was a big no-no to me also.

Of course I'm only saying it after hearing one side of the story. I wonder how his girlfriend thinks.

" Regina is kinda like me. She's busy with her work and she never brought up the marriage either. Now, just because my family is forcing me to get married I can't marry her all of a sudden. I'll admit that she's a nice girl but even so, I feel like something is missing." Theo told me with a haggard experience. He was perplexed by his own thoughts. I can tell that he is sensible person and not a playboy who gets a girlfriend every week.

I have experienced the same thing. During the high school days Ray was a good friend to me. But I felt that he wanted more than just my friendship. I hoped that it's just my misunderstanding.

I feared that it might happen someday which will ruin our friendship. After all there's no way I can think of Ray as a lover. He was a friend to me.

Later when I lied about me being interested into girls, his behaviour drastically changed. He started to avoid me. Then after graduation he left for France. We did chat but it didn't felt the same. I wonder what really happened.

Love is a critical matter to deal with.

So, it looks like their relationship is lacking something. May they sort out their differences and become happy together. Because I don't want to become a obstacle or a third wheel in their relationship. Let's hope that Regina is a understandable person.

Our wedding ended perfectly but Ray didn't came. It made me little sad. I was tired after a long day. Surprisingly I slept well in the new place. The breakfast was already served when I came down.

Theo told me that I'm allowed to get a job. I was beyond happy. Honestly it wasn't an easy decision for him. After all Theo is a wealthy man. If someone found out about his wife working somewhere it'll be a big embarrassment for him.

Yet he gave me permission, even allowed me not to hide my identity. Not only that he encouraged me with his words. Those words were the only thing I wanted to hear from my parents.

Funny, how a stranger treats me more like a human than my actual parents.

I started looking for jobs in online. It's been long since I graduated from college. So, it'll take some time. In the mean time my parents called and asked me about my situation. I told them I was happy which was the truth.

My brother already knows about the fake marriage thing. He never stopped me from doing it. Rather he agreed with me. Even my brother knew how much frustrated I was.

One week went by. My search for job continued. I applied with my maiden name. No matter how much Theo was okay with it, I had the responsibility to look after his reputation. In the house it just me and Lucy. Theo mostly eats outside. He is a really busy guy.

I was craving for fried chicken so I was going to order some. But an uncalled guest came to visit. The person was Regina. She is really pretty lady with blonde hair. Although she looked kinda a agitated.

Despite of her glum mood, we had a great conversation. She was a good person after all. In the mean time, Theo returns home.

Of course he looked puzzled. I guess that both of them had a fight. But now that Regina's mood is brighter there won't be any more troubles.

Don't worry guys, I'm your Cupid.

Since Theo came home early, we will have dinner together. It was the first time I'm having dinner with him. He had no idea that I was cooking dinner all by myself. I like cooking. Besides I mostly spend my days sleeping around, binge watching anime and movies.

" I don't really like eating dinner by myself. But since you're living here we can have dinner together from on." He said with a smile. Maybe the soup tastes good. Or he's feeling obliged to do so. But I was happy that he decided to join me for dinner.

Theo's parents arranged a honeymoon trip for us. We had no other options left so, we went for the trip. I had so much fun in those few days.

Even though there were awkward situations but the trip was great. Honestly Theo made the whole trip amazing for me. But he revealed his other side to me.

" I am just tired of everything. I wanna live my life like a normal person." His words were carrying heavy weight. He opened up about everything, telling me about his situation.

I had no idea that someone mȧturė like him can have such issues. He's very bad at expressing his true feelings. Maybe that's the reason he's being drowned by contempt.

I encouraged him just like he did for me. His problem with his mom sorted out. I'm glad I helped. Although I realised that even though we were quite different from each other, we were still same.

When we retuned from the trip I got a call from a company. They informed me that I got the job. I shared the news with Theo and he congratulated me.

My intentions were never to hide anything from him. To begin with, I'm like a open book, once I get friendly with someone. I told him that I used the maiden name but he was okay with it.

My respect for him grew day by day. He's the type of guy I admire most.

Our days continued. I made the dinner after returning home. Theo was a great companion. He's a man of few words. That's why I can talk to him about myself rather than just listening. I've gotten tired of listening to people.

Up until now I've never encountered a person like Theo. So, everything was new to me. I got my first salary. It was a big deal for me. I wanted to buy something for my close ones. Sadly only my brother knew about my job. I can't buy anything for my parents.

But Theo is a good friend of mine. So, I decided to gift him a pen. I wonder if he'll like it or not. That dude is obsessed with brands. Surprisingly he loved it.

Regina kept contact with me. Not because of Theo but for me. I can tell that she had fun talking to me. By time, she became close to me. There were troubles in their relationship. She couldn't figure it out. But I had a hint. Regina and Theo have same personality. Which is the main reason they are still together. But it's also same as looking at the mirror.

When you love someone you must look at them not at your reflection.
